Venison chili

[kyler1945]

Anyone ever use Cajun trinity ( like mirepoix but celery onion and peppers) in their chili? I did a batch sort of like that last weekend, used a couple jalapeños in the trinity and added a couple blistered poblanos into the pot. Also heard one of my dinner guests for that puts Worcestershire in chili, I added a tad to the meat and it was pretty darn good like that. And since I'm rambling on here add a little tapioca starch slurry in the pan after you brown your meat and add that fat right in the pot. Adds a little body and a richer mouthfeel and it doesn't ever separate back out. ( also doesn't turn gravy into jello if you use too much lol)

As a mostly Cajun, onion celery bell pepper is in about 90% of things I cook.

This includes chili.

I hope you take this as the glaring compliment I truly intend it to be:

In moments like this, Kyler is left behind and the true Kyle R shines through.
This simple comment is right up there with your very best work in the JX3 department.

This is the base recipe I use but I ton down the heat a good bit and just use the deer burger and italian sausage.

Well now I feel dumb. I just dug the box out of the trash to read “inner freshness seal is broken when opening cap”. The marvels of modern Technology…

Thanks @Glenn! The good news is I procrastinated throwing it out so it was still sitting on the counter in the crock pot. Chili is back on!

Well, maybe we all learned something there.

My favorite meat for chilli is goose breast. I cube it, brown it then slow cook 3-5 hrs with your favorite chilli recipe. You would think you were eating steak chilli. Everyone just t thinks it's beef until I tell them.

Ok here it is we left out the carrots & celery, it was really hearty. Was probably a little better b/c I was thinking about for a few hours til I ran out of light & climbed down. View attachment 98140View attachment 98141

@Bigterp going to do this. How big should l cut the veggies? You said you left out carrots and celery because it's too hearty? Is that a bad thing? Can you explain please. Also when l sauteed the ground venison, well cooked or leave it a little pink?

@Bigterp also. My crockpot is only a medium. Can l cook this in a giant pot and then pour some into the crock pot then take it to the office on warm? Or it's easier to just reduce the serving size. Like 1/2 a can instead of a full can of beans.

Yeah big pot & transfer for the office I wouldn’t try to split it. As for venison being still a bit pink, depends on how long it’s gonna be in the pot ( don’t think you’ll notice a difference) Chop vegetables up fine but not minced ( think of what’s gonna be in a spoonful) I left out carrots & celery because it was turning into vegetable soup. Last but not least wear gloves when you cut the peppers…..

Great. So on low for 8 hours in pot? Any water? Broth?

 

[Still Kicking]

I always add two or three tablespoons of mustard and a small handful of brown sugar to mine.

Nope , just don’t drain the cans it will be fine. 6-8 hrs on low is plenty

Thanks again for the great recipe @Bigterp ! I got 2nd placed. I didn't use the carrots, squash, or zucchini because it was starting to look like a veggie soup. But they love the venison and the mushrooms combo. Was not too hot but there was a good tingling aftertaste. 1st place went to a guy that did Texans style (no beans) with bacons, couldnt beat that......That would be what I would of done too for myself.
